Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Poisoning

“Aylin, I brought Abby over to play with you. She says you’re beautiful and wants to get to know you better,” Sariah said with a smile, leading Abby towards her.

Aylin didn’t bother giving Sariah a look, and spoke to Abby in a relatively gentle tone, “Abby, is that so?”

Abby took Sariah’s words to heart, nodding and agreeing with everything Sariah said.

“Yes!”

Sariah laughed warmly and affectionately patted Abby’s head, “See, she likes you so much now. That’s how a family should be. Aylin, I was wrong before, but now let’s take care of Abby together and deepen our bond with her, okay?”

Upon hearing this, Aylin could hardly contain her laughter.

Pulling Abby into an emotional appeal, this hopelessly foolish woman, could she really be Aylin’s cousin?

Sariah, however, couldn’t detect the deep sarcasm hidden in Aylin’s eyes. She turned her head, blinked, and gave Abby a subtle signal.

She hinted to her to proceed according to plan.

Although Abby is timid, she is extremely clever and quick-witted, grasping things instantly.

She tilted her adorable little face upwards and said softly, “Aylin, I noticed your lips seem a bit dry. Would you like Abby to pour you a glass of water?”

This child has been deceived, and the ignorant are innocent. Aylin wouldn’t be so petty as to hold a grudge against a child.

“Go ahead, the kitchen is on the left.”

Aylin pointed the way for the little one, and Abby conscientiously carried the glass, trotting all the way to the kitchen.

Pour water, add medicine, serve water.

This is Sariah’s plan.

In reality, she didn’t want it to be like this. Aylin was so beautiful and provided her with food and entertainment. However, if she didn’t act this way, Aylin would lock her up.

Taking out the small paper packet from her pocket, she found the white medicinal powder that Sariah had given her inside.

Before leaving, Sariah grabbed her and repeatedly urged, “Success or failure hinges on this moment. Whether we can escape Aylin’s clutches and live in a big house or be confined to a terrifying basement depends on you!

Make sure no one’s around, then pour all the laxative powder in! It’s just a laxative, so it won’t cause any harm. After you’re done, stuff the wrapper into your pocket, got it?

Otherwise, if you end up locked in the dark room, no one will be able to save you!”

She doesn’t want to be locked in a small, dark room.

Abby’s small round face was tightly drawn, one hand clutching a paper bag while the other was ready to grab the thermos of boiling water on the table.

However, the countertop was designed for adults, and for Abby, a third-grader, it was simply too high.

She strained to stand on her tiptoes.

After several attempts, her little chubby hand finally touched the handle. However, her hands and feet were too short, so she could only barely reach it. The thermos was placed too far inside.

She extended her pinky finger, attempting to hook the kettle out, but unexpectedly exerted too much force. The entire kettle toppled over, spilling hot water everywhere!

Abby’s brain couldn’t react in time, and she couldn’t dodge. The hot water splashed directly onto her face!

The child was stunned.

In the blink of an eye, amidst a flash of lightning and a spark of fire, a graceful figure dashed in with a speed so swift that it left no time to cover one’s ears.

When Abby opened her eyes again, the anticipated pain from the burn didn’t come. Instead, she found herself nestled in a warm and fragrant embrace.

It’s so comfortable, like a mother’s embrace, making one reluctant to leave.

Upon looking up, Aylin was staring at her with concern, “Are you alright?”

It had been a long time since someone had held Abby like this, showing such care and concern. She blinked, feeling a mix of emotions – a tinge of sadness, yet a warmth in her heart.

Abby remained silent, so Aylin carefully examined the child to make sure she wasn’t injured before letting her go.
